If you're all about fast acting skincare then retinol is one of the best ingredients you can use to see quick results! Of course there is always a downside and in the case of retinol, it can be irritating so when using it's not unusual to experience redness, peeling, breakouts and sun sensitivity - in other words, expect your skin to look a bit worse before it looks a lot better! Some great retinol choices include:

Miracle 10 Retinol Treatment 30 - 30ml - $82 - combines the power of Vitamin-A for refining, firming, and
rejuvenating the skin with a unique blend of botanical emollients. the anti-inflammatory, anti-oxidant and skin strengthening properties allow
for clearer, smoother, more radiant-looking skin while a patented
encapsulation system ensures 100% efficacy of the product's active
ingredients. Contains: retinol - for gentle yet effective exfoliation; seed oil and botanical extracts - provide anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidant properties; and vitamins E, A, C, E & B - to help soothe, hydrate and strengthen the look of the skin. The results include: appearance of fine lines, wrinkles and acne are diminished, skin appears firmer and clearer while inflammation and redness are reduced.

RoC Retin-Ox Correxion Intensive Anti-Wrinkle Serum - 30ml - $50 - an ultra-concentrated serum that smoothes the look of deep wrinkles to reactivate the youth of your face with a fast acting
formula that contains: retinol - to speed up cell growth and
quicken the pace of rejuvenation in the upper layers of the epidermis,
all while increasing skin density and minimizing the appearance of
inelasticity; hyaluronic acid - to plump and smooth the look of wrinkles
by binding water to the skin for extra moisture; and biopeptides - help
boost the functioning of the retinol. In 4 weeks even deep wrinkles are visibly reduced and skin looks regenerated.

Available now at drug stores across Canada.

All of the retinol products are best used at night but keep in mind the sun sensitivity that I mentioned earlier and expect that they are going to make your skin sensitive to sunlight the next day so it's extra important that you remember to apply a sunscreen and of course the easiest way to do that is with a daily moisturizer that already has one in there like:
